Eureka!

Eureka is a show that can best be described as The Flintstones Meets Doc McStuffins, and it's really good. It's like mixing a lighthearted version of the original Flintstones (a stone age sitcom) with the educational aspects of Doc McStuffins (which isn't surprising since both shows have some of the same people). You find all the characters really fun to watch, and there's a sense of freedom with the stone age setting. The humor is sharp and the songs are a banger. We get overarching messages about critical thinking and making the world a better place to compliment the smaller, but still well written messages. I recommend this one.

My daughter was initially excited by the promotional material used to advertise Eureka. I didn't have high hopes. Disney Jr. Throws a lot at the wall. Often times it sticks. There is just something about the catch phrases and overall dialogue of "Eureka" that felt off.

Once we happened upon an episode my daughter exclaimed "EEKA!" So we watched. The first thing I noticed was the speed at which every character speaks. They talk too fast. While this may not be problematic for older children, I don't think the intended audience can follow along.

The characters are one dimensional. The color palette is limited. The animation is not appealing. I don't think this show will last very long. Today when "Eureka" came on my daughter said "I don't ike it." She told me she wanted to watch "doc" and that was that.

Now, obviously, I'm not the target audience and if you're children like this show that's awsome but for someone who grew up on Disney Jr and knows they can make something worthwhile even today, "Euruka!" has none of the qualities the other shows have. The main thing I find enjoying when watching these shows is how pure and entertaining they are, almost every show being wholesome and warm but "Eureka!" has none of those qualities, being a void of boring nothingness. Again, the show isn't made for me but I'd be lying if I said a bad DJr. Show didn't bother me more then random adult animated show number 60 does.

Watch as this inclusive culture's children immerse themselves in science, technology, engineering, art, and math and integrate their ideas in their daily life! The socio-emotional development illustrated is appropriate and spot on for the kids characters and audience viewers alike! Music and singing reminds me of Lion King when I was little and watching it with my parents. The way the parents give the kids autonomy and agency is truly inspiring! I definitely recommend watching this with kids and identifying how these storylines apply to real life scenarios. I hope to see more shows like Eureka, especially on Disney Plus.

My daughter is seventeen months old and she likes it, she still gets up and to play and wonder around but the show does grab her attention, I think it's the music she likes to dance jump and in her own way sing along with them. I like the show it's cute, colorful, teaches problem solving, and most importantly I don't have to worry about her learning questionable behavior. It is really a kids show. I don't think the animation is bad it's cute the dinos, mammoth and the other cute creatures look kid friendly very colorful, and the speed they are talking sounds normal to me and my baby doesn't seem to mind it, she repeats some words so it seems like she's l understanding it ok.
